Description

A glass-fronted display case, split by a dark vertical frame, holds many pale sculpted heads and busts on small dark bases across several shelves. A larger bearded head stands in the middle of the lower shelf, and full-length statues and fragments fill the bottom row. Blue handwritten numbers are visible on the glass, and reflections of the room cover the left side.
